For the SPRING Season of 1897

Dresser, The Tailor, has received n
fine stock of goods for the coming
sqring and summer seasons. The quail
ity of work which he has heretofore
turned out can be learned from many
strong testimonials from his customers;
and he feels confident that he can now
Guido his former efforts, both in regard
to fit, style of make up and trimming.
He has already received the fashions
for the spring and summer of 1887,
and can guarantee to every one of his
customers not only a smooth fit but an
artistic fit, and fashionable, well made
garments. ADAM DRESEN.

Oscar Blakely breathed his last on
Thursday night, Feb. 10, at about IL
o'clock. He passed away so quietly
that the watchers in his room could
not tell the moment of his death but
thought that he had fallen into a quiet
slumber. 1t was the sleep that knows
no waking. He died on his 45th birth
day. The deceased had resided in Oar
lington for nearly thirty-five years, and
was highly esteemed by all our citizens.
Nearly everybody in the city attended
his funeral, besides many friends from
other towns. For the past year the
deceased had been almost constantly
racked with bodily pains and mental
troubles, but through it all he preserved
his winning, genial ways, and met
every friend with a pleasant smile.
No murmurings or complaints were
ever heard from his lips. Although
his body was frail he possessed a big
heart and noble soul. Peace to his
ashes.-Darlingto Journal.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT: BY your per-
mission True American would like to
say a few words in regard to the strict
ures upon his last communication.
You say: 1.-The politics of True Amer
lean doubtless comes from the long
continued reading of a class of semi
religious journals which instead of
mixing true, wholesome religion with
| their politics, have mixed a good deal
of unsound politics with their religion"
In regard to the kind of reading
the political food he takes,-he would
say that he is not confined to any mar
row limits. He has read republican
papers, free-trade papers, prohibition
papers and greenback literature, and
also, for several years has been a con-
slant reader Of The Democrat. All
of these ought to be demi-semi-
religious, and mix some wholesome
religion with their politics. Whether
they do or not let others Judge. In a
professedly Christian nation, political
| Journals that are claimed to be the
leaders of thought, should not seek to
set aside the principles which Christ
taught. He certainly never taught
the state to grant license to indiyid-
uals to work ruin among their fellows.
So True American believes in carry
ing the golden rule and every princi-
pie taught by Christ-yes, all the re-
ligion he may possess these
with him at all times, especially when
he goes to register his convictions as
to the course that government ought
to pursue. Gladstone, one of the best
and wisest statesmen of the world at
the present time, says: Government
should make it just as easy as possible
for men to do right, and hard to do
wrong This quotation May not be
verbally exact, but is correct in thought.
Does licensing the sale of poisonous
drinks agree with that prin ciple?
Respectfully, TRUE AMERICAN.
